Bad news for fans of the Cyberpunk Edgerunners series , a second season would not be in the program. Released on September 13, the animated series has charmed fans of the genre, but not only. All viewers were immersed in the crazy story of the mercenaries, and projected the production into the top 10 most-watched series on Netflix for more than a month.
But while Cyberpunk Edgerunners seems to have been wildly successful (in addition to reviving Cyberpunk 2077's popularity), what about a potential season 2?
"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was planned as a standalone work"
It was in a recent interview for Famitsu that the producer of the anime series and manager of CD Projekt Red Japan said this sentence, harsh but realistic. According to him, the work is a great success but when it was thought, the series was imagined as a production only . Thus, a sequel is not (yet) on the program.
As Satoru Honma points out, however, it is likely that new productions around the Cyberpunk Edgerunners universe (or not) will see the light of day, without necessarily being the subject of a season 2. In any case, the Hope is life...
Our review of Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Small return on the synopsis of the animated series. Cyberpunk Edgerunners follows the adventures of David Ramirez, a street kid trying to survive in the perilous city of Night City, whose inhabitants seem obsessed with technology and body modification, with corporations reigning supreme. After having lost almost everything, he decides to become a cyberpunk, a mercenary wearing cybernetic implants, who accomplishes very dangerous missions... but well paid.
If you are still hesitating to follow the crazy adventures of Ramirez, our review should convince you. Our teams found it very promising, and if you want to discover our full review, just click here.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is an excellent anime, served by a high-flying realization, it offers an intense, exotic and memorable experience, whether or not you have played Cyberpunk 2077. It even makes you want to launch (or relaunch) the game furiously Ironically, despite the debauchery of sex and violence, it's somewhat restrained by its agreed-upon story and potentially divisive ending. The 10 episode limit and the ties to the game are not in its favor on this point. However, we must not sulk his pleasure, and there is even a good chance that those who do not usually like anime will appreciate Edgerunners.
If the release date of the PrePatch of the World of Warcraft Dragonflight expansion was quite predictable for many, Blizzard has confirmed the expectations of many players: see you on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 for the start of hostilities and other dragoonery!
